ICJ Training materials on Alternatives to detention for migrant children

The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) has published a set of training materials on Alternatives to detention for migrant children. The materials cover the international and EU legal framework of alternatives to detention for children and related rights, such as the right to liberty and prohibition of immigration detention of children. The materials aim to support efforts to ensure that children are never detained for purposes of immigration control, in accordance with international standards. The materials provide specific good practice examples of alternatives, such as case management or placement of migrant children in mainstream child protection systems. Module III. details the right to be heard and procedural rights of children, and Module IV. covers communication with children in this context. The training modules are aimed for national judges, lawyers, state authorities, guardians, social workers, and other practitioners.
